Hi Erez,

Hi Herez
Perl and Bash Actions are supported is just that we need to improve the
documentation to make it more explicit I’m working on improving docker
Actions documentation this week :-)
Try this:
wsk action update fooBash foo.sh —native
Or
wsk action update fooPerl foo.pl —native
It can be any script file the action will chmod +x and then executed.
For the second question I don’t know what you mean for logs.
Any text to stdout and stderr before the last line with the json string
result are capture in te logs in the activation record
Fell free to open an issue with more info on how to reproduce your problem.

PS: my employer is also IBM. :-)
